No. 57 – G Marshal Yanda
“Marshal Yanda is one of the best offensive linemen of his generation, and he has a very real Hall of Fame case when he finally decides to hang up his cleats. The development of Lamar Jackson and the transformation of the Ravens’ offense allowed him to have a renaissance in 2019 at 35 years of age. Yanda allowed just 10 total pressures all season long and was a solid run blocker over the course of the season. At his best, Yanda was the top guard in football, and while he is no longer quite at that level, he is still good enough to make the PFF Top 101 for the eighth time.”
Every offseason people are left wondering if and when Yanda will begin to show his age. And every season, we’re reminded that Yanda is one of the best linemen in the NFL, regardless of his age. Last season was once again another great one for Yanda, stacking more on what is already a Hall of Fame resume.
Yanda is still undecided on whether he’ll retire this offseason, which puts Baltimore in quite the bind until they know. But eventually trying to replace Yanda will prove to be the toughest task of general manager Eric DeCosta’s early career in charge of the franchise.
